555 is surrounded! From the wooden fence erected during the foundation work, we moved on to proper scaffolding this week. It’s called ashiba in Japanese, which means legs.
When I saw it yesterday, it was all I could do not to scurry up that staircase to the top. I restrained myself, though I’m not actually sure why. Maybe to keep the workers from worrying about me? Or yelling at me to get down?
Well, no problem now. It is 6:15 am as I write this. There are no workers. I’m off for a sunrise stroll around the scaffolding.
That was brisk! Not as high up as I had imagined. I think the scaffolding is set at the height of the beam, so I was standing level with the loft. I will find out next week.
Anyway, that was a fun and unanticipated adventure for a Saturday morning before I lead yoga. Better get myself calmed down now and dressed before class starts.
